The current code doesn't do page migration if the page allocated is a compound page. With HugeTLB migration support, we can end up allocating hugetlb pages from CMA region. Also, THP pages can be allocated from CMA region. This patch updates the code to handle compound pages correctly. The patch also switches to a single get_user_pages with the right count, instead of doing one get_user_pages per page. That avoids reading page table multiple times. This is done by using get_user_pages_longterm, because that also takes care of DAX backed pages. DAX pages lifetime is dictated by file system rules and as such, we need to make sure that we free these pages on operations like truncate and punch hole. If we have long term pin on these pages, which are mostly return to userspace with elevated page count, the entity holding the long term pin may not be aware of the fact that file got truncated and the file system blocks possibly got reused. That can result in corruption. The patch also converts the hpas member of mm_iommu_table_group_mem_t to a union. We use the same storage location to store pointers to struct page. We cannot update all the code path use struct page *, because we access hpas in real mode and we can't do that struct page * to pfn conversion in real mode.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
